Thanks, but that's not necessary.

You can check *all* of your applications simultaneously by opening  
System Profiler (in the /Applications/Utilities folder; or in the  
Apple menu --> About This Mac --> More Info), click on the disclose  
triangle next to Software, choose Applications, then click on the  
Kind column to sort by kind.

You can quickly check to see if any of the system extensions that you  
have running are PPC in Activity Monitor.
